A forwarded email, which makes sense to me 🙂 After thinking about it, maybe I move back to Alor Setar better 😀

I’ll try to do some calculations here. In Malaysia the average family income is RM3000 (Father works, mother doesnt). I understand there are a lot of families whose income don’t reach RM3000, but, to make things simple, lets take RM3000 as the figure. ok la right?

Okay, let’s start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. ngam ngam..

Calculation starts…

Electricity and water bil RM100 (no aircond, no home theatre, no water heater k?)
Telekom and Handphone bil RM100 (cannot make a lot of calls one you know? NO Streamyx also)
Meal for the whole happy family RM775 (3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons????)
Papa makan/teh tarik during working hours RM155 (RM5/day, RM5 can eat what?)
Car repayment RM400 (a proton saga aeroback, 7 years repayment)
Petrol RM500 (Living in City, Jam)
Tol RM100 (The LDP, Sprint, Cheras Penchala link and etc)
Insurance RM450
House repayment RM750 (NOT really a HOUSE u know? 750sqt Apartment only!!)
Tuition RM80 (got that cheap meh?? No, I don’t think so)
Older children pocket money @ school RM20 (RM1/day, eat bread??)
School fees RM30 (enough ah??)
Younger children milk powder RM50 (cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)
Miscellaneous RM100 (shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so… No Astro, no movie @ cinema, no DVD, no CD, no online, cannot KFC, cannot Mc Donald, cannot go Park walk during weekend(petrol expensive), no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc…

Let’s use a calculator to total up… WALAO EI.. Shit! RM3610 already.. -RM610… How to survive laa tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian??? Our Deputy Prime Minister ask us to change lifestyle? How to change? Don’t eat? Don’t work? Don’t send children to school and study? Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of Rakyat Malaysia which still don’t earn RM3000/month!!!

What is this? Ini lah Malaysia Boleh.. Sorry.. it should be Malaysians Boleh, because we’re still alive and kicking!

全馬的家庭平均收入=RM3000（父親工作）
這個數字有些家庭還不到，不過為方便起見，就拿這個數字來説吧。
一個家庭有4的小孩（1、3、6、9嵗），母親沒工作，一輛小車，一間小家。。
開始了。。。
家裏的水電=RM 100 (注意：不能有冷氣、有熱水花撒、電腦、音響的）
家庭式電話：RM 50（不可以亂打哦）
家裏每月的吃費：RM 600（每天 RM 20,三餐）
父親的用費：RM 400(外面工作的需要，如吃、用）

以馬來西亞人口：2500万來計算
馬來西亞的有至少1000万人或500万家庭沒這樣的收入
馬路修了又該，有誰從中賺取？多少不見了？
行政府庭用超過3000万來裝修！？
吃的、用的都在起！！！！
油錢起了又起！？（2000年 RM1.20、2003 RM1.35、2005 RM 1.62、2006 RM 1.92
?）
工錢又不見的起！！
這是什麽道理？
Malaysia Boleh, Malaysian Boleh!!!

It has been 2 weeks after the petrol price hike on 27th February. So now the question is where is the RM0.33 billion? You may ask what is the RM0.33 billion.

Our government said subsidy and tax exemption borne by the government this year alone – from January to February 2006 – was RM1.19 billion and RM1.44 billion respectively. So after 2weeks, which mean 1/4 of the month(It should be 2/4 of the month, but no different). 1/4 of the RM1.44 billion would be RM0.33 billion, so where is the RM0.33 billion goes?

Do you guys see any improvement on the public transport? OR any action taken by our government to Rakyat Malaysia? I only see my petrol and food become more expensive.

There will be a massive protest going on today 2pm in KLCC. If you are there, write a big board and ask where is the first RM0.33 billion now. 😉

Yes! I have received my first Google Adsense cheque! So I can spend this money during Singapore trip. Thanks Google, thanks visitors who drop by my blog. You guys are wonderful people in the world.

A sad day, I received a call from my good friend, told me that his laptop was stolen at Sri Hartamas yesterday night. He placed the laptop in the car boot, the thief break the car windows, open up the boot of the car and steal the laptop

Please my friend, DON’T EVER LEAVE YOUR LAPTOP IN THE CAR / CAR BOOT. This is 4th of my friend laptop got stolen. The truth is, no matter you the laptop store in the boot or hide underneat the seat, covered with blanket or jacket, there is a detector to detect electronic devices in your car. Once the thief detected, they will try to break your car and take the laptop/handphone/ipod/other gadgets.

Case 1
My friend went to supper in the mid night, he left the laptop at the back seat and cover with jacket. After the meal, the laptop gone, car handle is broken.

Case 2
My friend went to restaurant take away food in the afternoon, she left the laptop at the back seat, she thought it will be ok because only took 5 minutes to order. Who knows, after 5 minutes the laptop is gone and car’s windows is broken.

Case 3
My friend went to watch movie at Mid Valley, left the laptop in the boot. After movie, the car handle is broken, he immediately check the boot, laptop was stolen.

The most important stuff in the laptop is the data, once you lose it, the works is gone, source code gone, private stuff gone, even worst if you have private stuff like Tammy’s video, and self portrait nude pictures.

I have a bad habit, which I bring my laptop along whenever I left my car, going to 7-11 buy junk food, filling up petrol, buy SportToto/Magnum4D, collect document from friends or etc. I remember some friend teased I am proud/show off I have a laptop because I bring it along wherever I am, nah.. When you lose it you will know the pain.

Learn my bad habit. Does car lock/alarm helps?

When I’m doing work in my room, after half an hour, my eyes feel very tired, sleepy, can’t open up my eyes. But when I am doing work in the living room, I don’t have the feeling, even I sit on the floor whole day, I can’t even feel my eyes is pain, tired, can’t open, but ass is pain la.

So, I observe a while in my room, now I know why. For a dumb person like me, I didn’t notice the stand fan is actually blowing directly to my eyes, that’s why my eyes feel pain. How stupid I am, so now I place the fan at a better “feng shui” position, now feeling better.

Continue work…

p/s: Panasonic stand fan is a good fan, I would like turn on air cond but I can’t afford the electric bil, thanks Uncle Lim.
